DOMESTIC FLIGHTS
For those people arriving into Port Moresby (POM) on an International flight you will also need a domestic flight from Port Moresby (POM) to Mount Hagen (HGU). There will be someone to meet you in Port Moresby when you arrive to help you transfer from your international flight to your domestic flight as there are two terminals. You can walk from the international to the domestic terminal. There are no commercial night flights in PNG. Mount Hagen has no lights and is basically a VFR aerodrome despite the fact that Fokker 100 jet aircraft operate in/out Mount Hagen on a daily basis.

QANTAS LINK flies between Cairns and Port Moresby while QANTAS code shares with Air Niugini between Brisbane and Port Moresby.

THOSE COMING FROM EUROPE
The most efficient way would probably be to find a friendly airline that flies from Europe to Singapore and then book Air Niugini from Singapore to Port Moresby to Mount Hagen. It is not a daily flight between Singapore and Port Moresby but there are more flights each week between Singapore and Port Moresby than the other Asian destinations.
It would also be possible to come to PNG via Australia and this would mean that you would transit through Cairns, Brisbane or Sydney. There are daily direct flight from Cairns and Brisbane to Port Moresby and onto Mount Hagen while the daily flights out of Sydney would go via Brisbane. You should also book your flight from Port Moresby to your final destination of Mount Hagen.

THOSE COMING FROM THE USA/SOUTH AMERICA
It is generally the most efficient to go via Australia rather than Asia as there are daily flights to PNG through Australia. The flights across the Pacific go to either Brisbane or Sydney and there are daily flights from Brisbane and Sydney to Port Moresby to Mount Hagen that you can book with either Air Niugini or QANTAS. You should also book through to your final destination of Mount Hagen.

There are daily flights from Cairns, Brisbane and Sydney that connect through Port Moresby to Mount Hagen on the same day.
